MEDIA RELEASE__As we transition from fall to winter, the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) is reminding drivers to always remain aware when behind the wheel, specifically when traveling during the morning or evening hours.
"We know that deer activity typically increases at dawn and dusk, when visibility is low and many drivers are traveling to and from work," said Governor Mike DeWine. "To keep yourself and other drivers safe, I encourage everyone to drive defensively, follow the posted speed limit, and never drive distracted."
